Established in 1936, Gambrinus is a Lisbon classic, much used by politicians, business people and lawyers. The decor is rustic, with lots of dark brown wood and a huge open fire place. House specialities are fish and seafood dishes (try the mixed grill), but duck with rice, roast suckling pig or even roast beef English style are also on the menu. Dishes served at the bar are less elaborate and less expensive. Open until 2am.

Centrepieces in this lively restaurant, set in a former fish market, are a long bench with all kinds of fish and seafood freshly out of the ocean and a giant charcoal-burning grill. Attracts a crowd of local celebs and other beautiful people who can afford the often high seafood prices. (Watch out, you pay according to weight.) Once you’ve chosen your main course, you can watch it being grilled to perfection right in front of you

Wonderfully located on the seafront in the Guincho area in Cascais, Porto de Santa Maria is one of greater Lisbon’s three Michelin-starred restaurants. There are, in fact, quite a few affordable dishes on the menu here. The seafood dishes, including the house specialities crayfish and lobster, are what make the restaurant expensive.
